- If you're in a band and you wear cowboy shirts, you better respect the shirt. Bring some steel or fiddle or something that proves to me that you're the real deal and not just tragically hip.
- Why do girls fronting pop-punk bands all sound the same?
- Dear American Church - countdown videos are LAME.
- I don't think church should look like (or better) than a rock concert.

I agree with 1,2,4. We use a countdown so I guess we are lame.
I actually have a 2 part theory about the countdown videos that I'm happy to share, but I'm anxious to see what other folks think about them.
Namely...
1. What are they supposed to do?
AND
2. Do they accomplish that task?
I vote "lame." Or at least terribly overdone. I do a pretty good number of "events" every year, and i be seeing me some countdown videos at pretty much EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
But I guess if you think about it, Todd, that makes me and you lame, since we're the only ones who hate them.
We should probably just find out if the Passion Super Conferences or Matt Chandler's church use them. If they do, then you and i might have to re-think.
You're the only ones who hate them? Au contraire, mein freund.
Oh, and in answer to number 2, "for the same reason all boys fronting pop-punk bands sound the same."
do you have any good observations Debbie Downer?
I need a pass on this one. I use the countdowns when I can for two reasons.
I. I use them to start on time.
II. I use them to get the students excited that we are about to begin the celebration, aka service.
Resons for the pass.
I. I teach middle school students. (reason enough)
II. We never start on time - even with the countdown. Most of the time we have to skip it.
With that said!

LONG LIVE THE COUNTDOWN!
I say if you have a countdown... make it worth my time. Have something light up with spots or even blow something up with fireworks for crying out loud. Don't have me eagerly anticipate 15 minutes of buildup only to rip it all away with a lame video introduction.
The preceeding was reason #432 why Robert does not like organized ministry "Conferences".
